Zhang Dongyang came to the palace, saluted the emperor again, and said at the same time: "Your Majesty! I did see some thieves on the boat before, and I could have people draw their portraits! ”

"At that time, as long as someone goes to find someone according to the portrait, and when they find someone, they will almost be able to understand who is behind the scenes!"

Hearing Zhang Dongyang's words, Zhou Tianfu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Isn't this Zhang Dongyang a civil official? How do you collude with Xiao Chen? Are you still a member of the Wenchen faction? Does he still want to be an official in the DPRK or not!

However, Zhou Tianfu was angry, and he was still calm, and he knew that this matter must not be allowed to continue.

He immediately stepped forward and came under the high platform.

He bent his waist even lower, and there was a bit of pain in his tone:

"Your Majesty, the old minister has worked hard for Dachu for decades, and now at this juncture, he is actually being smeared like this! The pain in the old minister's heart is really incomprehensible, Your Majesty must be the master of the old minister! ”

"The old minister has never sent someone to do anything to scuttle a ship!"

has played the emotional card, and it can only be said that Zhou Tianfu is indeed very eager to survive......

Xiao Chen smiled, and said again: "Prime Minister, didn't you send someone to scuttle the boat?" But how do I feel that you are telling us that you did the assassination before? ”

Zhou Tianfu was stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it.

Xiao Chen smiled: "Why didn't the Prime Minister speak?" You don't have nothing to say, do you? ”

Zhou Tianfu was very angry in his heart, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "I advise Lord Xiao not to hold on to this problem!" The shipwreck did me no good! ”

"On the contrary, Lord Xiao can avoid handing over a large sum of money! From this point of view, everyone knows who did the shipwreck! ”

In fact, Zhou Tianfu's words are not completely nonsense, and there is a certain amount of truth.

If the ship is sunken recently, Xiao Chen really doesn't have to hand over the money he copied from the major families in Jiangdong.

Therefore, not only did the expressions of the ministers in the court change, but Chu Yanwu's eyes also narrowed slightly.

You must know that Chu Yanwu learned that the ship was sinking before, and he felt distressed that he not only lost a talent like Xiao Chen, but also felt sorry for the money accumulated by Jiangdong families for hundreds of years!

In the face of Zhou Tianfu's questioning, Xiao Chen was unhurried and unhurried.

He just laughed and pulled an envelope-like thing out of his sleeve.

He smiled again and said, "Everyone! Although I, Xiao Chen, am not a great talent, I am definitely not the kind of stupid waste! It's definitely ready, too! A large part of the wealth of the major families in Jiangdong is silver tickets, and I carry silver tickets with me! ”

"There are sixty-four silver tickets here, a total of 5.7 million silver tickets! Now I present it to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty know my loyalty! ”

Chu Yanwu's eyes flickered, his brows also stretched, and he waved his hand: "Take it for inspection." ”

An old eunuch beside him quickly went over and wanted to take the envelope in Xiao Chen's hand and hand it over to someone for inspection.

It didn't take long for the man to report: "Your Majesty, it is indeed the silver ticket of the major money banks in Jiangdong and the well-known money banks!" The number is not wrong, it is indeed 6,700,000 taels of silver! ”

After these words came out, Zhou Tianfu's face turned pale, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

This gelding is really prepared!

That's not all, Xiao Chen also added with a smile: "Of course, the treasures of the major families in Jiangdong are not just silver tickets!" Although those gold, silver, pearls and jade have sunk into the river, as long as His Majesty finds someone to take the time to salvage them carefully, there will definitely be no omission! ”

"When that time comes, you will check again, and if there is one copper missing, I will come to see you!"

Zhou Tianfu's face was extra bloody, but this was not because he was in a good mood, but because he was angry.

Chu Yanwu was high on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly deep.

In fact, he already has a little bit in his heart.

There is a high probability that Xiao Chen did not embezzle money......

However, Chu Yanwu naturally wouldn't pass things over so simply.

He hopes that something will happen to Zhou Tianfu's old thing!

So Chu Yanwu just said with a majestic expression: "Zhou Aiqing! These 6,700,000 taels of silver tickets cannot be faked...... But whether Xiao Chen is corrupt or not, the town also has its own decision! ”

"Where is Dali Temple?"

A middle-aged man walked out of the audience and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is here!" ”

Chu Yanwu held his beard and said, "This time the shipwreck, I ask the Dali Temple to supervise the whole process!" Be sure to verify the full amount! And Jiang Rongfeng, who committed many major crimes in Jiangdong, was also handed over to Dali Temple for detention! ”

"As for the next words...... I'm tired, so let's retreat! ”

In the face of Chu Yanwu's statement, everyone present was also unwilling.

Especially Zhou Tianfu, what happened just now was equivalent to him wanting to bite off a piece of Xiao Chen's meat and egg, but instead of biting it, he broke a tooth......

How could he be willing?

But. Chu Yanwu has already asked to retreat from the dynasty, and it is impossible for him to let Chu Yanwu take back his fate!

Therefore, Zhou Tianfu could only look at Xiao Chen with unwilling eyes, bent over, and sent Chu Yanwu away.

Xiao Chen was generous, and even looked completely disapproving.

Before leaving, Zhou Tianfu didn't forget to say a cruel word to Xiao Chen: "Lord Xiao, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, let's see!" ”

Xiao Chen smiled brightly, and just said happily: "This sentence can also be used by me on you!" ”

Xiao Chen walked away, but Zhou Tianfu's eyes flashed with anger, and the palms under the sleeves of the official uniform were crumpled together!

After Chu Yanwu left, he returned to the dormitory, but he did not rest immediately.

Instead, he looked at Chen Jin beside him: "Big companion, what do you think of today's events?" ”

Chen Jin's eyes flashed, and he said: "Judging from the idea of a slave, although Xiao Chen is a flamboyant person, he doesn't dare to have an affair with the concubine if he is given 10,000 guts...... After all, this is a big sin to lose your head, and it's a big taboo! ”

"As for the matter of the Chamber of Commerce, it is estimated that Zhou Tianfu has deducted a black cauldron, which minister in the DPRK and Central China does not have some property at home?"

Zhou Tianfu also nodded: "The Tao is indeed the truth, it is estimated that Zhou Tianfu knew that Xiao Chen was dead, and wanted to get rid of the big trouble of Dongchang as soon as possible, and he also found a way to deduct a few black pots...... It's just that Zhou Tianfu really shouldn't take the harem thing! ”

Chen Jin also hurriedly echoed: "The Prime Minister is indeed a wrong move. ”
